As the title suggests. I'd been having this issue with Titanfall 1, and yesterday I bought Titanfall 2 and wanted to play MP. As soon as I enter the lobby, I get the titular message and am thrown back to the main menu. I thought it was a blocked port issue so I opened the ports in the router just to be on the safe side but the issues hasn't resolved itself. I didn't mind so much with T1 since I'd already played it so much, but now that I have T2, I'd really like to see this issue solved.

In that case it sounds like you'll wan to reach out to your ISP, if a VPN can bypass a connection issue, it can indicate that the issue is on the connection side.

@ramy_chaos When did this issue start for you? do you encounter any problems with other online games?

I'd start by power-cycling the router, in case the issue lies there. Can I check what system you're on, too? I take it that changing Data Center has no effect on the issue.

Thanks.

I get the same issue (ps4) and I just bought the game on black Friday. It's always timing out ,don't think it's the connection because all my other games run smoothly. Pls fix on next update.

I haven't been able to play Titanfall 1 for months now. I just bought T2 on black friday. I'm on Windows 10. And no, these are the only 2 games I've had issues with.

I am having this issue with TF2 - I've made into the game exactly once, for just a few seconds. No other game has this issue.

I had periodic disconnects with TF1 and it was an issue with the graphics-settings. I turned them down, and all was fine.

I'm going to give them a week and then request a refund.

@ramy_chaos Do you have any issues with other online games?

Can you add both games as exceptions for both your firewall and anti-virus? Perhaps some shared component of the networking tech is being blocked?

Can you think of anything that changed on your system when you lost the ability to play Titanfall 1?

You mention opening ports, can I check that you've opened the ones listed for TF1 and 2.

No, I don't have issues with any other games. I disabled my FW and AV, no difference. And yes, the ports mentioned are the ports that I've opened.

Hmm, it sounds like most system-specific issues. Another thing you could try that can sometimes help with rare issues is to swap to another Windows account. Even if this is ineffective it can discount the possibility of a local account issue: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/instantanswers/5de907f1-f8ba-4fd9-a89d-efd23fee918c/create-a-local-user-account-in-windows-10

The game works with a vpn, and by works I mean it doesnt disconnect, but due to the lag from the vpn, it's not playbale.
